Goldin's Father: I Know the IDF Doesn't Abandon It's Soldiers

Dr. Simha Goldin, father of Lt. Hadar Goldin who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists yesterday (Friday), said that it never would even enter his mind that the IDF would abandon any of its soldiers still in the field.

"I serve as a battalion commander in the Reserves," he said, "and it would never even occur to me to leave a man behind."

"We have been receiving a tremendous amount of support, and I want to thank everyone for this," he said.
